I just saw Memento. It's very, very good. I watch a lot of French films.
The business side of film has goofed up so many things, but even that's changing. It happened to the music industry and now it's happening to the film studios. It's crazy what's going on. But artists should have control of their work; especially if, ...
When you make a film, you sign a contract with somebody, and it's not only legally binding but morally binding. You agree to give this man a certain number of weeks of your life, and you just go for it as much as possible. Because, whatever happens, ...
In my opinion, the actors I admire the most are also character actors - the Dustin Hoffmans and the Robert De Niros. You look at them from film to film, and there's clearly more going on than just the repeat of the same persona over and over again. T...
When I go back to theater, I feel good about myself. When I do films or TV, it's to make a little bread to pay my mortgage or whatever, and when I've made the money, I do theater again. And when I get a part I like, a part I can work on, that satisfi...
Because I've made a film with such an amazing director as Tarantino, I'm much more conscious of working with good directors from now on, so that's what's important to me. I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.
All the collaborators of storytelling, in film and television, have to be partly self-centered because they need to do their work the best they can, and that's what makes them really good at what they do, but then they also have to be a part of the s...
I don't make films that are easy to market, unfortunately. I think that 'Pi' was the easiest one, because we had that symbol to stick up everywhere, so that was a good gimmick, and created a good mystery, and we didn't have to do huge scale.
My background is sociology. Combined with my graphic approach, if I could do some film projects, I think I'd be very good at making documentaries eventually, but people don't think of me for that, of course. But dialogue is something I know I can be ...
Most of the cricketers are doing side businesses apart from playing the sport, so why should I be left behind. I feel there is a lot of money in making films, and since Punjabi cinema is doing good, this is a lucrative option for me.
Your average pop song or film is a very sophisticated item, with very sophisticated ways of listening and viewing that we have not really consciously developed over the years - because we were having such a good time.
For me, a director is a director immaterial of the gender. At the end of the day, the audience is only interested in watching a good film.
Film is different for me now. If the money is good and it's not totally revolting, I'll do it.
I just want to make good films on my own wherever I can.
I saw a very good Hollywood film the other day. It was about Cole Porter.
It feels so good to be able to be part of an action flick like 'The Raid' and to read the rave reviews in a number of film festivals.
If I was ambitious in my career, then I would have moved to the United States and given it a good go at films.
Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller.
In Korea, I do different kinds of genres. So, like that, I would like to do a lot of good acting films.
Take time to enjoy the flight - read a good book, watch a film, catch up on emails and sleep.
No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.
